| Summary: | able to adjust to changing traffic patterns by using on-line accurately predict the traffic flow conditions for the next average, performs as good and in some cases better, as it is control period. The objective of this study was to propose a data. Exponential smoothing does not perform well where exponential forecasting method can be made adaptive, it would exponential smoothing and historic average predictors at the good predictor where traffic patterns remain steady. The intersection of Beltline and Plano in Richardson, Texas. The optimization package which generates optimal signal timing plans using traffic flows as inputs. To use PASSER IV in a prediction algorithm and test the same with existing models proposed algorithm, which was an adaptation on historic prove useful where historic data is non-existent. real-time signal control system, it is essential to real-time signal system. PASSER IV is an arterial system relationship of these flows to the traffic control signal settings are major factors in the development of an adaptive sudden decrease in traffic volumes. If the double test results concluded that the use of historic data was a The prediction model developed was tested along with The prediction of traffic flow on a network and the there are sudden highs and lows as often observed in arterial to select the most appropriate one for field implementation. traffic patterns in Richardson. It tends to underestimate when there is a sudden increase and overestimate in case of a |
